Nice to learn a new (to me) feature of rsyslog.

What does 'logger show channels' show?

I turned on the messages that he had in the file again, all the logs were
in /var/log/asterisk and it does not show anything for syslog.

asterisk -rx 'logger show channels'
Channel                             Type     Status    Configuration
-------                             ----     ------    -------------
/var/log/asterisk/full              File     Enabled    - DEBUG NOTICE
WARNING ERROR VERBOSE DTMF FAX
/var/log/asterisk/messages          File     Enabled    - NOTICE WARNING
ERROR

I wonder if there is a weird parsing error in the logger.conf file that is
causing it to verbose log, but I will need to do more testing.
It may also be related to the verbose=3 in the asterisk.conf file.
I want to try to replicate it on a test system.

Weird. I was expecting something like:

Channel                             Type     Status    Configuration
-------                             ----     ------    -------------
syslog.local0                       Syslog   Enabled    - WARNING ERROR VERBOSE

This may be a bit off the wall, but any chance the script that starts 
Asterisk is piping to logger?

Does 'pidof logger' show anything?
